No gold for us I'm sad to say.  Yvonne was really disappointed and they set off at 8.00 this morning for home and we left 10 minutes later going in the opposite direction.

We are now in the NorthWest of W.A.  I'm quite excited about it.  There's a sign saying we're crossing the 26th Parallel and it would have been an ideal photo of the CF signage but Steve was going too fast to pull over.

From Cue to Meekathara no vehicles other than long road trains overtook us.  Steve does the right thing and pulls into the side so they don't have to lose any speed.  One of the drivers called us up on the CB and we were talking about Cystic Fibrosis.  I was hoping he'd slow down and throw us a couple of notes but unfortunately not.

We are parked in an area off the Great Northern Highway and Steve has the generator going and the satellite dish up and running in an effort to watch The Eagles play.  (He's reading the instruction manual.  The game'll be over by the time he has it sorted).

I don't know how long we'll be here for, at least tonight although I'm hoping some more caravan people will join us, there's always safety in numbers.  We're going to Newman, past Karijini National Park, to Port Hedland then we'll start making our way down the coast.
